Egg Tempera

Egg tempera is a painting method thousands of years old and made simply of ground up pigment glued together with the yolk of an egg and water. Laid down on an absorbent ground, usually plaster-based, board, they dry into a durable, brilliantly colored, tough film which can demonstrably last for millennia essentially unchanged. It is the oldest painting medium in existence. It is the quintessential painting medium and the main one used by Andrew Wyeth who painted most of his significant works in egg tempera describing the method as "having no limitations."
